Mrs. Ida Anderson Larson was born in Sparlisa, Sweden, August 10, 1868.
At that place see (sic) was baptised and confirmed in the Swedish Lutheran
church. She came to this country and located at Muchakinock, Iowa, in 1887.
She was married to J. E. Larson April 5, 1898, and to this union was born
seven children. One son, Martin, preceded her in death at the age of seven.
Those surviving, are her husband, Elmer, Edwin, Herbert, Glen and Florence;

Aplequist of
Sweden. She died peacefully at the family home, one mile west of Dudley
Monday, Dec. 8 at 5:45 a.m. Although she had been failing for a number of
years, she was bed-fast for eight weeks, but was patient during all her
illness and her prayers and words were “Come, Oh Jesus, and take me,” and
was willing to leave everything in God’s care as He would take care of her
family. Rev. Bersell had charge of the funeral which was held at the home
December 10th at 1 p.m. and at the Munterville church at 3. She was buried
in the Munterville cemetery in a bed of beautiful flowers given by friends.
She has always been a member of the Munterville church here and tried to
take part in all activities. God
bless her memory among us. Be ye also ready!
